Skip chords and lyrics
Verse 1
But (G major) I love (G minor) it. I always (B flat major) try
(G minor) and sample (G major) the local (F major) food
when I visit all these different countries.
In Taiwan, (G major) I had (E minor) a (E major) tea egg,
(F sharp minor) which is essen (G major) tially a hard
(F sharp minor) -boiled egg
(G major) that's cooked in tea.
(F sharp minor) And now, that (G major) might sound gross, but it was.
It was very gross.
But it was the best alternative.
I was with my friend she was like
you can either have the tea egg
or you can have a thousand year (F sharp minor) old egg
(G major) and I was like well
I can think of like a thousand reasons
not to have the thousand year egg
so I started (E flat major) eating the tea (F major) egg a
bit (G major) in
and the yolk was green
and it wasn't st. Patrick's Day
or anything
and I was like is this this you
know
cuz you know like some food
when it turns green
I don't know, (F sharp minor) that's concerning.
(C major) That's when you usually
(G major) stop.
I looked around, everyone was continuing
to eat their tea egg
and I was like, you know what, Taiwan,
they got good medical here.
(C major) So I ate it. But I love (G major) Taiwan,
very complex.
Every Asian country,
obviously very complex and (F major) unique,
(G major) but like there's mysteries (F major) in all of them,
(G major) right?
You know, like in Taiwan, you know,
they are Chinese people,
(F major) but they it's the country is (G major) called the Republic of China
but (F major) it's (G major) not China
and they get angry there
this isn't China
we're Taiwan and we're Chinese
you're like okay okay okay that sounds good
